Does it? Sincerely asking.

If we have a guy that is 6'5" and is a defensive monster and has a strong core, long arms, quick laterally, he can guard 6'9" guys. If we have a slow 6'9" guy, he isn't going to be put on the other team's dynamic player if they both play what we'd call the 3. We'll hide him where we can.

Rebounding will depend on how we're playing defense as much as a natural rebounder.

Scottie Barnes guarded Jokic really well as a matter of strategy by Toronto. Luka gets put on the weakest guys regardless of position all the time. Using NBAers as examples, but I'm just not that worried now that we should have competent coaching, both overall strategy-wise and in-game adjustments.

I would guess we'll actually see pre-switching on D prior to the action and what not if needed if we have soft spots on the defensive end. I think there is a whole world out there that we were just, frankly, incapable of because of our coaching staff and our guys basically punting on the second half of the season.

Just my 0.02. And, to be clear, give me the best guys on the wing / off ball we can get. GMac will figure out what to do with too much talent.
